Objective: To prove that workers who have repetitive activities in their jobs are more prone to present this syndrome, as opposed to workers who do not have many repetitive tasks in their work area. Methods: Descriptive observational study. Results: The majority (58.7%) were male, while 41.3% were female. Conclusion: This syndrome presented a higher prevalence in women and in people with an age range of 40 years or more, being also present in other people, but with a lower prevalence percentage. The OCRA and RULA checklist methods made it possible to obtain a score that measured the ergonomic risk to which the workers were subjected during their daily workday.
